You can find the catalogue of optional courses for FREE CHOICE CREDITS in the curriculum of your degree programme.

Students  will be allocated their optional courses on the basis of a merit ranking list (*). This means that you cannot directly inlcude these courses in your Personal Study Plan/ Annual Personal Study Plan where you will find the generic course titles:

Course specific requirements When you choose a course from the general catalogue, make sure you read  its specific requirements in the footnote of the Curriculum (for instance, maximum number of students – if any, campus where the classes take place, video lessons, etc.) or in the course syllabus (pre-requirements, class structure, etc.).

3) List your courses in order of preference: use the side arrow or drag and drop them in the desired position

After this deadline Politecnico will create a merit reanking list and assign you your optional courses (these will automatically be included in your PSP/APSP).

Second phase of course allocation *If for any reason you did not create your APSP by the deadline, you will be given the opportunity to choose among the optional courses with residual places at a later stage. You will be able to express your prefrences from 10 to 17 October 2018.

We remind you that  for this operation you need to have included the generic course titles and codes in your PSP/APSP.

After this period Politecnico will define a merit ranking list and assign you your optional courses (these will be automatically included in your PSP/APSP).

At the end of this second phase, in the event that some courses still have available places, they can be offered to latecomers.

We remind you that the generic course titles and codes must be included in your PSP/APSP. For this round of allocations, send a ticket to the Office of Student Services.

The ranking list is created on the basis of students’ scores. Every student is assigned a score, which is calculated by multiplying the number of credits of each exam by its grade. Pass-or-fail exams (without a grade) are assigned the average grade of the other exams. The sums of these products is divided by the number of semesters from the student’s first enrolment in the university system. For transfer credits, the number of semesters is calculated as follows: 1 semester = 30 CFU.

Only the exams passed before 28^th July 2018 count towards the merit-based score.

Merit-based score calculation
(GR1 * CFU1) + (GR2 * CFU2) + (GRn * CFUn) + (overall average grade * CFU pass-or-fail exams)               

                 number of semesters from the student's first enrolment in the university system

Optional courses are offered to students following the order established in the ranking list and taking into account the preferences expressed by every student , until all places in the classroom are occupied.  
It might happen that several students with the same position on the ranking list choose the same optional course, but available places are not sufficient to satisfy all the requests. In this case the course will be offered to those students who have the highest number of exams passed with honours; subsequently, remaining places will be randomly allocated by a computerized draw.
